Connecting cancer researchers with patient advocacy organisations is crucial for fostering collaboration, empathy, and progress in cancer research.

By engaging with patient organisations, researchers gain valuable insights into the lived experiences of those affected by cancer, helping to shape more patient-centric research agendas. It is also becoming increasingly important to consider the patient perspective in grant applications.

Here are a few examples of patient advocacy organisations:

• Cancer Patients Europe
• Europa Donna
• KRAS Kickers
• Mesothelioma Hope
